Sweet laps, Cory!

That doesn't explain the difference. Not sure Stuart is not similarly equipped.

Some laps from enduro with the H & I cars. Will download some more footage with Brian (Eurosport) in GT4, we had some good fun.

My Cup has an Autometrics 4 liter stroker. I'm always honest. The gearings been tweaked a little too. It's all legal in GTA2. I can't run SCCA anymore though. NASA I'm ok in SU I think.

Cars a beast. So fun to drive. I'm still getting used to it. I'm definitely keeping it for now.

Stuart you and Tom will have fun together this year. A monster 997 and a stock 991.. I love to cause trouble and Tom hates it. That makes it even more fun. Here is car from VIR last week. Check out Lap 3.

I didn't know Tom was getting around the track so well. That's flying. He would have crushed everyone this past weekend. I can't go that fast. Not even close. Congrats to Tom for really doing fantastic. I'm very impressed.

From some of the fastest classes, to the slowest. Heres my Sprint Race 1 video from inside my SP1 race car. Set the class record in lap two, dropping it by about 2 seconds down to a 2:18.534. I did an equal time in Sprint Race 2, but my cameras didn't start for whatever reason. Ill have the fun race starts video up later, which will show me having fun passing a bunch of faster cars on the three starts.

What do you have for suspension? The thing is terrible on the bumps.

Why did you take your ***** off before a race?? They were dangling from right side of roll cage and kept swinging into view. You probably lost 1-2 sec. a lap right there.

I installed the G-meter ***** to give everyone something to look at rather than my horrible driving in my boring car! Glad it's working.
